As the Delhi gangrape victim was moved out of India for better treatment on Wednesday night, Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan slammed media for neglecting human interest in the race of BREAKING NEWS.

Commenting on the media covergae of the Delhi gangrape victim, Amitabh Bachchan
wrote on Facebook, "Lot of debate and discussion and comment on the media coverage of patient DelhiGangRape, being shifted in ambulance to another location ... patient privacy is an important element in the Constitutional Journals of Medical Ethics ..Couple of years ago when I was in an emergency and taken to Hospital, media had blocked the ambulance door to such an extent that it took my family and the doctors 20 minutes to open the door to get me out, while I suffered in pain inside, impatient to get immediate medical attention ..

On another occasion, after a surgery, a journalist dressed herself in doctor's gear and walked into the ICU where I was and then immediately went out and started live reporting on my condition, saying she had just met me ... Ethics be damned !!"

A 23 year old student was brutally gangraped by six men on the night of December 16, in the national capital in a bus. The incident evoked wide-spread outrage and protests. All the accused have been arrested in the case. The victim is currently undergoing treatment for her injuries in Singapore. Meanwhile, protests against the incident turned violent on India Gate and a Delhi Polcie constable succumbed to the inuries received while trying to pacify the protesters.

This is not the first time Big B has criticised media for its race for coverage. On December 24, Amitabh Bachchan posted on his Facebook page, "Think about this ... that as protesters express anguish and anger in their peaceful march for a most just cause, a team of technicians sits on editing machines in the august offices of tv channels, editing preparing and choosing the right background music to attach to the horrific visuals, in order to make their broadcast dynamic and presentable !!!"

Today has been a disturbing day: Amitabh BachchanAmitabh Bachchan earlier said in his blog that he was disturbed with the turn of events during protest against the Delhi gangrape case at India Gate. Several people gathered at India Gate to show their solidarity with the gangrape victim and demand justice for her. However, police resorted to violent ways in reaction to the peaceful protests.

Amitabh Bachchan posted: "An entire day has been spent in the hearts of those that protest on the streets of Delhi, in particular seeking justice for the gang rape victim, that fights for her life in a hospital in the Capital. But today has been a disturbing day. Watching the violence and strong tactics being deployed to disrupt this peaceful protest, is horrific. Tear gas bombing, cold water canons being sprayed in the winter of Delhi, is cruel to these young and determined students that have dared to vent their true feelings against the system, for the protection of young girls that have become frequent victims of rape. There is anger and pent up feelings. There is a demand for protection on the streets. There is a fervent and continuous cry for justice and a quick and definitive punishment to the perpetrators of such crimes. FULL STORY
